-# Dream & Capture System
-
-## Overview
-
-A capture-then-process model with two deliberately different processors: three always-on hooks
-append conversation turns to two independently-gated JSONL queues; the **memory** queue is
-drained by a detached `claude -p` worker (`background-memory-update`) on a 120s throttle, and
-the **dream** (decisions) queue is drained by the **Dream agent** — a Claude Code background
-subagent that `session-start-context` instructs the main model to spawn whenever the queue has
-pending turns. Scripts capture and trigger; the Dream agent does all processing by reading and
-editing the data files directly. There are no marker files, no per-session JSON state, no
-worker locks on the dream side, and no status/stamp files: the claimed queue batch itself is
-the only dream-side state, deleted as the agent's final act.
-
-## System Context
-
-**Purpose**: (1) preserve session context across restarts/`/clear`/compaction (working memory)
-and (2) detect architectural decisions and pitfalls from conversation turns, rendering them
-into `decisions.md`/`pitfalls.md`/`index.md` (decisions pipeline).
-
-**Role in the larger system**: two of the three per-project background systems under
-`.devflow/`. The third — feature knowledge — is write-through and in-command (spawned directly
-by orchestrator commands at workflow end), not part of this system; see
-`.devflow/features/feature-knowledge-system/KNOWLEDGE.md`.
-
-**External dependencies**: the `claude` CLI on `PATH` (memory worker only — the Dream agent is
-an in-session subagent, not a `claude -p` child); `jq` with a `node` fallback for all JSON
-parsing (`_HAS_JQ`/`_JSON_AVAILABLE`, set once by `json-parse`); `git` (only
-`session-start-memory`'s drift detection and `background-memory-update`'s stamp gathering
-shell out to it).
-
-## Component Architecture
-
-**Hooks** (registered in `~/.claude/settings.json`, all always-on — no per-feature
-hook-registration toggle):
-
-| Hook | Event | Registration position | Spawns? |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `capture-prompt` | UserPromptSubmit | — | never |
-| `capture-turn` | Stop | **before** `memory-worker` | never |
-| `capture-question` | PostToolUse (matcher `AskUserQuestion`) | — | never |
-| `memory-worker` | Stop | **after** `capture-turn` | `background-memory-update` |
-| `session-start-memory` | SessionStart | before `session-start-context` | never |
-| `session-start-context` | SessionStart | last | never (emits the Dream spawn **directive**) |
-| `pre-compact-memory` | PreCompact | — | never |
-
-**Processors**:
-
-| Processor | Kind | Triggered by | Model | Tool surface |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `background-memory-update` | detached `claude -p` worker (`nohup … & disown`) | `memory-worker` (120s throttle) | `haiku` | `--dangerously-skip-permissions`, `--allowedTools 'Read,Write'` |
-| Dream agent (`shared/agents/dream.md`) | Claude Code background subagent | `session-start-context` Section 2 directive → main model spawns `Agent(subagent_type="Dream", run_in_background: true)` | resolved per directive (default `opus`) | frontmatter `tools`: Read, Bash, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep |
-
-**State** (all under `.devflow/`, none git-tracked — contrast ADR-002):
-
-| File | Written by | Purpose |
-|---|---|---|
-| `memory/.pending-turns.jsonl` | capture hooks | memory queue |
-| `dream/.pending-turns.jsonl` | capture hooks | decisions queue |
-| `dream/.pending-turns.processing` | Dream agent (atomic `mv` claim) | claimed batch — deleted as the agent's final act; mtime is the live/crashed discriminator (900s) |
-| `dream/config.json` | `dream-config.ts` (`updateFeature`) | shared toggle: `memory`, `decisions`, `knowledge` |
-| `decisions/decisions.json` / `~/.devflow/decisions.json` | `devflow decisions --configure` | Dream agent tuning: `model`, `debug` only |
-| `memory/WORKING-MEMORY.md` | `background-memory-update` | rendered working memory |
-| `decisions/decisions.md` / `pitfalls.md` | `render-decisions.cjs` (via `assign-anchor`/`retire-anchor`) | rendered ledger body files — written before `index.md`; crash leaves body files without a stale index |
-| `decisions/index.md` | `render-decisions.cjs` `renderAndWriteAll` (written **last**, after body files via atomic tmp+rename) | compact write-time ADR/PF index — consumed by workflow commands via `decisions_load()` plain Read; `(none)` sentinel when ledger is empty; absent on first-render crash (benign — `(none)` fallback), stale on re-render crash (benign — one generation behind; self-heals next render; `--check` flags it) |
-| `memory/.last-refresh-ok` | memory worker, on success | memory success stamp (the dream side has no stamp — the deleted `.processing` IS success) |
-
-## Component Interactions
-
-### 1. Dual-append (capture-prompt / capture-turn / capture-question)
-
-All three capture hooks share one shape: resolve `PROJECT_ROOT` (via `resolve-project-root`,
-falling back to `CWD`), then call exactly two `queue-append` functions:
-
-- `queue_read_gates "$DREAM_DIR/config.json"` — **one config-read subprocess fork** returning
-  both `_QG_MEMORY` and `_QG_DECISIONS` (AC-P1). The gate is config-only (mirrors memory's
-  ADR-001): missing config file defaults both to `"true"`.
-- `queue_append_both <memory_queue> <dream_queue> <memory_enabled> <dream_enabled> <role>
-  <content> <ts>` — appends the SAME row to whichever queue(s) are enabled, independently.
-
-Row schema is always `{role, content, ts}`: `role` ∈ `user` (capture-prompt) | `assistant`
-(capture-turn) | `qa` (capture-question, one row per answered question). Every queue file is
-created with mode `0600` (`umask 077`) on first write. After each append, `queue_append_row`
-checks line count and — only when it exceeds 200 — truncates to the newest 100 lines under
-`dream_lock_acquire "<file>.lock" 2`.
-
-`capture-turn` also runs the decisions-usage scanner (`decisions-usage-scan.cjs`) directly,
-gated only by a grep for `ADR-[0-9]+|PF-[0-9]+` in the assistant message AND
-`DECISIONS_ENABLED` — independent of whether anything gets queued.
-
-**Stop-array ordering contract**: `capture-turn` MUST be registered before `memory-worker` in
-the Stop array. This is enforced entirely by `init.ts`'s call order (`addCaptureHooks` before
-`addMemoryHooks`). Reversing the array order would spawn the worker one turn behind.
-
-**Shared cwd+field extraction (`json_extract_cwd_field`)**: the single home of the `cwd`-plus-
-arbitrary-field extraction is `json_extract_cwd_field <field>` in `scripts/hooks/json-parse`,
-backed by the `extract-cwd-field` node op in `json-helper.cjs`. Both branches delimit the two
-output values with ASCII SOH (0x01) — written only as the jq `` escape or the node
-`'\x01'` literal, **never as a literal control byte in source**. `json_extract_cwd_prompt` is
-a thin delegating wrapper around `json_extract_cwd_field "prompt"`.
-
-### 2. memory-worker → background-memory-update
-
-`memory-worker` owns ONLY the throttle + spawn decision. Throttle key: `.working-memory-last-trigger`
-mtime, 120s window. It touches the trigger file **before** spawning. Note this hook does **not**
-check whether the queue is actually non-empty before spawning; it spawns unconditionally once the
-throttle clears, and lets the worker itself no-op cheaply.
-
-`background-memory-update`'s lifecycle, in order:
-1. Re-entrancy guard (`DEVFLOW_BG_UPDATER`) first, then re-check `memory:false` at runtime.
-2. Acquire `.working-memory.lock` — 300s stale-break, 90s acquire timeout (less than
-   `WATCHDOG_SECS=120` so a waiter gives up before the current holder's watchdog fires).
-3. **Orphan-only auto-clean**: if the queue has no `assistant`/`qa` row, truncate and exit without an LLM run.
-4. Claim the queue: rename `.pending-turns.jsonl` → `.pending-turns.processing`. Merge any leftover `.processing` from a previous crash.
-5. Build context from last `MAX_TURNS=10` (20 lines), up to 65536 bytes of existing `WORKING-MEMORY.md`, git state.
-6. Spawn `claude -p --model haiku --dangerously-skip-permissions --allowedTools 'Read,Write'` with prompt on stdin (never argv), under a `WATCHDOG_SECS=120` + 5s kill-grace watchdog.
-7. Verify: `WORKING-MEMORY.md` mtime strictly newer AND first line matches `<!-- memory-head:*`. Only then remove `.processing` and touch `.last-refresh-ok`.
-
-**The watchdog kill mechanism** (worth reading once — the non-obvious bash):
-
-```bash
-set -m                                     # give claude its OWN process group (PGID == its PID)
-DEVFLOW_BG_UPDATER=1 "$CLAUDE_BIN" -p ... &
-CLAUDE_PID=$!
-set +m                                     # restore so the watchdog subshell stays in THIS group
-
-( sleep "$WATCHDOG_SECS"; kill -TERM -"$CLAUDE_PID"; sleep "$GRACE"; kill -KILL -"$CLAUDE_PID"; ) &
-WD_PID=$!
-wait "$CLAUDE_PID"; CLAUDE_EXIT=$?
-kill "$WD_PID" 2>/dev/null; wait "$WD_PID" 2>/dev/null  # cancel watchdog before a PID can recycle
-```
-
-Without `set -m`, `kill -TERM -"$CLAUDE_PID"` (negative PID kills an entire process group)
-would kill the worker script itself. The watchdog is cancelled as soon as `claude` exits.
-
-### 3. session-start-context Section 2 → Dream agent
-
-`session-start-context` gates both sections on the `decisions` field in dream config (config-only).
-Section 2 emits the `--- DREAM MAINTENANCE ---` directive when work is pending:
-
-- `.pending-turns.processing` **fresh** (< 900s) → a live Dream agent owns the batch → **suppressed**.
-- `.pending-turns.processing` **stale** (≥ 900s) → crashed run → emit.
-- otherwise `.pending-turns.jsonl` non-empty (`-s`) → emit.
-
-When emitting, it resolves the model via project `decisions/decisions.json` → global
-`~/.devflow/decisions.json` → `"opus"`, then validates against a `case "$DREAM_MODEL" in
-opus|sonnet|haiku)` allowlist before ever interpolating into the directive text.
-
-The **Dream agent** (`shared/agents/dream.md`) then:
-1. Claims the queue: atomic `mv .pending-turns.jsonl .pending-turns.processing`. Lost `mv` = exit silently. Stale `.processing` is re-claimed (`touch` heartbeat), any new queue is folded in, and the stale-merge fold-in tail removes the now-redundant file via `unlink` (not `rm` — see Gotchas).
-2. Reads everything directly with its Read tool: the claimed batch, `decisions-log.jsonl`, `decisions.md`/`pitfalls.md`/`index.md` (active entries), `.decisions-usage.json`.
-3. Writes observations directly — appends one JSONL row via heredoc, or Edit-replaces a single existing row to reinforce it. Never rewrites the whole file.
-4. Calls only the three ledger ops via Bash: `assign-anchor` (numbering + render), `retire-anchor` (status flip + render), `rotate-observations` (30-day archival). Each self-locks internally.
-5. Heartbeats (`touch`) the claim file once at the detection→curation boundary.
-6. Deletes `.pending-turns.processing` as its **final act** (consume-then-delete) via `unlink` (POSIX single-file delete; `rm` is deny-listed on Recommended installs — see Gotchas and avoids PF-003). Denial-tolerance fallback: if the deletion is denied, the agent finishes normally and notes the leftover claim file — the next run's 900s stale-merge recovery folds it in.
-7. Ends with a 1–3 line summary.
-
-### 4. Dream agent instructions (shared/agents/dream.md)
-
-A normal shared agent (distributed to `devflow-core-skills` + `devflow-ambient`). Its **Iron
-Laws**: (a) `assign-anchor` owns numbering and `render-decisions.cjs` owns ALL THREE rendered
-files — **never hand-edit `decisions.md`, `pitfalls.md`, or `index.md`**; (b) abstain-by-default
-— "most runs produce nothing, if unsure record nothing"; (c) ADR-XOR-PF — one incident yields
-exactly one of an ADR or a PF; (d) curation bounded to **≤5 changes per run** and a **7-day
-protection window** keyed on the ledger row's `date` field.
-
-Detection (Part 1): scan `decisions-log.jsonl` for a matching existing entry first — reinforce
-that row (single-line Edit) rather than creating a duplicate. Promote via `assign-anchor` only
-when `quality_ok=true`. Curation (Part 2): run `rotate-observations` first, then retire ≤5
-candidates via `retire-anchor <id> <status>`.
-
-**Deny-list-safe deletions**: every single-file deletion in `dream.md`'s instructions uses
-`unlink`, never bare `rm`. The devflow Recommended-init deny-list (`src/templates/managed-settings.json`)
-blocks `rm` in agent-authored shell; `unlink` matches no deny-list pattern. This applies at both
-the stale-merge fold-in tail and the Finishing step final act. Contract-pinned by
-`tests/dream-agent.test.ts`: positive pin on `unlink` in the FINAL act AND a negative guard
-`expect(content).not.toMatch(/\brm -/)`. When editing `dream.md`, use `unlink` for any new
-single-file delete instruction.
-
-Contract tests: `tests/dream-agent.test.ts` (frontmatter, claim protocol, deny-list guards) and
-`tests/decisions/dream-curation.test.ts` + `decisions-format.test.ts`.
-
-### 5. DECISIONS_CONTEXT loading (workflow commands)
-
-Every workflow command that consumes `DECISIONS_CONTEXT` does so via the `decisions_load()`
-partial defined in `commands/_partials/_decisions.mds`. The partial is a **plain Read** — zero
-subprocess:
-
-1. Read `{worktree}/.devflow/decisions/index.md`.
-2. If the file exists and is non-empty: use its content as `DECISIONS_CONTEXT`.
-3. If absent or empty: set `DECISIONS_CONTEXT` to `(none)`.
-
-`index.md` is written by `renderAndWriteAll` in `render-decisions.cjs` **last** (after body
-files written via atomic tmp+rename), so a crash during a first render leaves `index.md` absent
-— `decisions_load()` falls back to `(none)`. A crash during a re-render leaves `index.md`
-stale (the previous version) — one generation behind but never corrupt; self-heals on the next
-successful render; `--check` mode flags it as drift. `devflow:apply-decisions` then resolves full body content on demand via
-explicit Read of `decisions.md`/`pitfalls.md`. The `_decisions.mds` partial is compiled into
-all 12 command host files at build time via `npm run build:mds`; see the feature-knowledge-system
-KB for MDS build mechanics.
-
-**Byte format of index.md**: entry lines with two-space `PF-NNN  ` footer padding, absolute
-footer paths, `(none)` sentinel for empty ledgers, no trailing newline from `buildIndexContent`
-+ a single `\n` added at write time. Format is test-pinned in `tests/decisions/`.
-
-### 6. SessionStart injection (session-start-context, session-start-memory)
-
-`session-start-context` injects the decisions TL;DR (first line of `decisions.md`/`pitfalls.md`,
-matched via `sed -n '1s/<!-- TL;DR: \(.*\) -->/\1/p'`) as Section 1 and the Dream maintenance
-directive as Section 2 — both gated on the same `decisions` config field the capture hooks read.
-
-`session-start-memory` renders a 3-state header from the `<!-- memory-head: <sha> branch: <name> -->`
-stamp on line 1 of `WORKING-MEMORY.md`: **A** in-sync (stamp SHA == HEAD), **B** drifted
-(stamp SHA is a provable ancestor), **C** refresh-failing banner (queue depth > 0 AND
-`.last-refresh-ok` missing or >600s old). Before passing the parsed `STAMP_SHA` to git, it is
-hex-validated (7-40 lowercase-hex chars). It also runs a self-contained **D56c cold-path
-recovery**: an orphaned memory `.pending-turns.processing` older than 300s is renamed back to
-`.pending-turns.jsonl` only if the live queue file doesn't already exist (non-clobber).
-
-### 7. HUD decisions/pitfalls counts
-
-`gatherDecisionsCounts` reads `decisions-ledger.jsonl` directly and counts active rows by type,
-mirroring `render-decisions.cjs`'s own `isActive()` exactly. This mirror is no longer an
-unenforced convention — `tests/hud-decisions-counts.test.ts` `require()`s
-`scripts/hooks/lib/render-decisions.cjs`'s exported `isActive()` directly and asserts the TS
-and CJS implementations agree across the **full** `decisions_status` matrix.
-
-## Integration Patterns
-
-**Re-entrancy guard convention**: every hook and the memory worker check `DEVFLOW_BG_UPDATER`
-first. The memory worker sets it on its `claude -p` child so hooks firing from within the
-nested session bail out without cascading a second spawn.
-
-**Two independent config layers**: `dream/config.json` (boolean feature toggles: `memory`,
-`decisions`, `knowledge`) vs. `decisions.json` (Dream agent tuning: `model`, `debug`). Toggling
-a feature never touches `model`/`debug`, and configuring the model never touches boolean gates.
-
-**DECISIONS_CONTEXT consumption is a plain file read**: `_decisions.mds`'s `decisions_load()`
-reads `index.md` directly — no subprocess, no `.cjs` script at runtime. The deleted
-`decisions-index.cjs` script (which ran at command invocation time) has been replaced by the
-write-time `index.md` artifact. Any new workflow command that needs `DECISIONS_CONTEXT` should
-import `decisions_load()` from `commands/_partials/_decisions.mds` and compile via build:mds;
-it must NOT shell out to any script.
-
-**Bootstrap/migration story**: existing projects without `index.md` are bootstrapped by the
-`render-decisions-index-v1` per-project migration (runs on `devflow init`): reads
-`decisions-ledger.jsonl`, acquires `.decisions.lock`, writes only `index.md` — never
-rewrites body files. No-op when the ledger is absent (index will be written on the next Dream
-run). The `purge-orphaned-decisions-index-v1` global migration removes the stale installed
-`~/.devflow/scripts/hooks/lib/decisions-index.cjs` (the installer copies additively and never
-deletes, so the orphan would otherwise linger).
-
-**CLI enable/disable**: both `memory.ts` and `decisions.ts` write config only. Hooks are never
-removed by a single-feature disable because they are shared plumbing across features.
-`decisions --disable` additionally drains the dream queue + `.processing` unconditionally.
-
-**`decisions.ts` is a thin router over named handlers**: `handleStatus`, `handleList`,
-`handleConfigure`, `handleReset`, `handleClear`, `handleEnable`, `handleDisable` each own their
-full path resolution and I/O. The four state-mutating handlers share a `requireGitRoot(actionSuffix)`
-guard.
-
-**`handleReset` idempotency**: `devflow decisions --reset` deletes `.devflow/decisions/` entirely
-and drains the dream queue. The reset lock dir `.devflow/decisions/.decisions.lock` lives **inside**
-the directory being deleted; a second consecutive reset would find the parent gone, causing the
-non-recursive lock `mkdir` to fail with ENOENT and misreport "Decisions system is currently running".
-Fixed by ensuring the parent dir exists with `fs.mkdir(dirname, {recursive:true})` before the
-NON-recursive lock `mkdir` (EEXIST must keep meaning genuine contention). The success message is
-the count-free, test-pinned string `Reset complete — removed .devflow/decisions/ and dream queue state.`
-(a per-file counter was misleading — it never counted the recursive directory removal). Idempotency
-is behavior-tested in `tests/decisions/cli-subcommands.test.ts` with tmpdir harnesses.
-
-**`dream-cleanup.ts` centralizes the two dream-side cleanup predicates**: `sweepLegacyDreamMarkers
-(dreamDir)` is shared by `devflow decisions --reset` and `purge-dream-marker-pipeline-v1`.
-`drainDreamQueue(gitRoot)` is shared by `--clear`/`--disable`.
-
-**Array-order contracts are enforced entirely by `init.ts`**: `capture-turn`/`memory-worker`
-ordering (append-before-spawn) exists only because `addCaptureHooks` runs before `addMemoryHooks`.
-
-## Constraints
-
-- **No argv content, ever**: content flows only via `claude -p`'s stdin (memory worker) or the Dream agent's own Read tool. `ps(1)` can see argv system-wide.
-- **Silent debug logging**: `dbg()` calls in capture hooks never log message content (only lengths).
-- **No daily/throttle cap on the dream side**: `DecisionsConfig` has no `max_daily_runs`/`throttle_minutes`.
-- **Memory lock duration is watchdog-derived**: lock stale-threshold (300s) exceeds watchdog total (125s) with margin. The dream side's equivalent is the 900s `.processing` staleness threshold — change it in both the hook and the agent or the discriminator desyncs.
-- **No literal SOH bytes in hook source**: the ASCII SOH delimiter must only appear as the jq `` escape or node `'\x01'` literal.
-
-## Anti-Patterns
-
-- **Using bare `rm` in agent instructions**: `rm` is deny-listed by devflow's Recommended-init settings. Any single-file deletion an agent author writes into instruction files must use `unlink` instead. `rm -rf` is a separate escalation to a shell-based approach — also deny-listed. This applies to `dream.md` and any future agent instruction file with a Bash-based cleanup step (avoids PF-003).
-- **Wrapping `assign-anchor`/`retire-anchor`/`rotate-observations` in your own lock**: all three self-lock internally; an external lock nests and times out.
-- **Whole-file rewrites of `decisions-log.jsonl`**: races the capture-side scanner and any concurrent op's log update.
-- **Hand-editing any renderer-owned file (`decisions.md`, `pitfalls.md`, or `index.md`)**: deterministically rendered by `render-decisions.cjs`; a manual edit is silently overwritten on the next `assign-anchor`/`retire-anchor` call.
-- **Adding a throttle, lock, or status file to the dream side**: queue emptiness gates the directive; the atomic `mv` settles races; `.processing` mtime discriminates live from crashed. New state files here are machinery regression.
-- **Shelling out to a script at command invocation time to get DECISIONS_CONTEXT**: the index is already written at render time; a plain Read of `index.md` is sufficient and zero-cost. Use `decisions_load()` from `_decisions.mds`.
-- **Passing raw queue content into the directive or worker argv**: paths only — the processor reads content itself.
-- **Re-implementing the cwd+field split inline in a new capture hook**: call `json_extract_cwd_field <field>` (or the `json_extract_cwd_prompt` wrapper) rather than hand-rolling a new jq/node two-value split.
-- **Interpolating `DREAM_MODEL` (or any config-sourced string) into a directive without an allowlist**: validate against the `opus|sonnet|haiku` `case` allowlist before use.
-
-## Gotchas
-
-- **`rm` vs `unlink` in agent instruction files (deny-list)**: devflow's Recommended-init deny-list blocks bare `rm` (matched as a shell command pattern) in agent-authored Bash. `unlink` — the POSIX single-file delete syscall wrapper — is not deny-listed. Any future edit to `dream.md` or another agent instruction file that adds a file-deletion step must use `unlink`, not `rm`. The contract is enforced by `tests/dream-agent.test.ts`'s negative guard `expect(content).not.toMatch(/\brm -/)`.
-- **Reset lock dir lives inside the directory being reset**: `.devflow/decisions/.decisions.lock` is a child of `.devflow/decisions/`. After `fs.rm(decisionsDir, {recursive:true})`, the parent is gone; a second `devflow decisions --reset` call would fail the non-recursive lock `mkdir` with ENOENT — surfacing as a false "system currently running" error. The fix (`fs.mkdir(dirname, {recursive:true})` before the lock mkdir) must stay or idempotency breaks again.
-- **Two distinct lock mechanisms, not one**: the generic `dream-lock` helper (`dream_lock_acquire`, 30s stale-break) is used only by `queue-append`'s overflow-truncation path. The memory worker defines its OWN inline lock (300s stale-break). Don't assume the 30s generic threshold applies to `.working-memory.lock`. The dream side has no lock at all — `.processing` plays that role.
-- **`dream/config.json` is shared, multi-feature state**: `memory`, `decisions`, and `knowledge` all live in the same file. Any code that writes it must read-modify-write, preserving keys it doesn't own.
-- **Hooks snapshot at session start**: registering a hook for the FIRST time only takes effect for a NEW Claude Code session. Toggling an ALREADY-REGISTERED hook's feature takes effect on the very next invocation (every hook re-reads `dream/config.json` fresh).
-- **Directive spawn depends on model compliance**: the hook only *asks* the main model to spawn the Dream agent. A model that skips the spawn delays processing to the next session — nothing is lost, but nothing is processed.
-- **`claude -p` sessions receive the directive too**: SessionStart hooks fire in non-interactive sessions (except the memory worker's own, excluded by `DEVFLOW_BG_UPDATER`). An unrelated `claude -p` run may receive — and may or may not act on — the directive.
-- **`index.md` absent or stale — both benign**: body files are written first via atomic tmp+rename; `index.md` is written last. A crash on a **first render** leaves `index.md` absent — `decisions_load()` falls back to `(none)`. A crash on a **re-render** leaves `index.md` stale (the prior version) — one generation behind, never corrupt. Both cases self-heal on the next successful render; `--check` mode flags a missing or stale `index.md` as drift.
-- **Accepted append-vs-claim race**: `queue_append_row`'s overflow truncation is read-then-replace, not a lock-held write — a lock-free concurrent append can be silently dropped. The guarantee that holds is "the file is never corrupted", not "no data is ever lost."
-- **AskUserQuestion fixtures are empirically pinned, not invented**: `capture-question`'s parser was built against real payload samples (`tests/capture-hooks.test.ts`). Any non-object `tool_response`, and any cancelled/absent shape, degrades to "zero rows, exit 0".
-- **Memory/dream file isolation is a hard invariant**: `devflow memory --clear` and `devflow decisions --clear`/`--reset` never cross into the sibling feature's files.
-- **The `opus` default is duplicated by design, in two languages**: `decisions-config.ts`'s `DEFAULTS.model` and `session-start-context`'s bash `DREAM_MODEL` resolution both implement the same project→global→`"opus"` precedence independently. Changing one without the other silently desyncs the CLI-reported default.
-- **`json_extract_cwd_field` is the one place both jq and node branches must stay in lockstep**: changing the delimiter or field-defaulting behavior in one branch without the other reintroduces the jq/node divergence this extraction was meant to eliminate.

+# Learning & Capture System
+
+## Overview
+
+A capture-then-process model where three always-on hooks write conversation turns into two
+independently-gated JSONL queues, and two separate processors drain each queue on their own
+schedule. The **memory queue** (`.devflow/memory/.pending-turns.jsonl`) is drained by the
+detached `background-memory-update` worker on a 120s throttle. The **learning queue**
+(`.devflow/learning/.pending-turns.jsonl`) is drained by the **Learning agent** — a Claude Code
+background subagent that `session-start-context` instructs the main model to spawn whenever the
+queue has pending turns. Scripts capture and trigger only; the Learning agent does all
+decision/pitfall detection by reading and editing the data files directly via its own tool
+access. There are no marker files, no deterministic detection thresholds, and no per-session
+JSON state on the learning side.
+
+The content produced by the Learning agent — `decisions.md`, `pitfalls.md`, `decisions-ledger.jsonl`,
+`decisions-log.jsonl`, and `index.md` — **deliberately keeps its "decisions" naming** even
+though the system is called "learning." See the Naming Boundary section below.
+
+## System Architecture
+
+### Two-Pipeline, Shared Capture
+
+All three hooks source the same `queue-append` helper and call `queue_append_both`, which gates
+each write independently via `_QG_MEMORY` / `_QG_LEARNING` flags:
+
+```
+UserPromptSubmit → capture-prompt
+Stop             → capture-turn          ─── queue_append_both ──→  memory queue (.devflow/memory/)
+PostToolUse      → capture-question                              └→  learning queue (.devflow/learning/)
+```
+
+Both queues share the same JSONL row shape `{role, content, ts}` with `role` values
+`"user"`, `"assistant"`, or `"qa"` (Q&A pairs from `AskUserQuestion`). The pipes are
+independent: disabling memory leaves the learning queue writing; disabling learning leaves
+the memory queue writing.
+
+### Feature Config Split
+
+Feature toggles and tuning config live in two separate files with different locations:
+
+| What | File | Contains |
+|------|------|---------|
+| Feature on/off | `.devflow/config.json` | `{memory, learning, knowledge}` booleans |
+| Agent model/debug | `.devflow/learning/learning.json` | `{model, debug}` (project-level) |
+| Global tuning | `~/.devflow/learning.json` | same shape, lower priority than project |
+
+**`.devflow/config.json` is at the `.devflow/` root — not inside `learning/`.** All learning
+runtime data (queue, content, tuning config) lives in `.devflow/learning/`.
+
+Module `src/cli/utils/feature-config.ts` owns feature toggle reads/writes. Its `coerceConfig`
+coalesces the legacy `decisions` key into `learning` — if both are present, `decisions` wins.
+This preserves old configs silently.
+
+Tuning resolution: project `learning.json` → global `~/.devflow/learning.json` → defaults
+(`model: "opus"`, `debug: false`). Module `src/cli/utils/learning-tuning-config.ts` handles
+the merge. The bash hook in `session-start-context` resolves the same priority chain directly
+— duplicated by design so the hook needs no subprocess for TS evaluation.
+
+### Capture Hook Protocol
+
+All three capture hooks follow the same protocol, enforced in order:
+
+1. **Re-entrancy guard first**: `if [ "${DEVFLOW_BG_UPDATER:-}" = "1" ]; then exit 0; fi`
+   This runs before `hook-bootstrap` to minimize overhead. Without it, the background memory
+   worker's own `claude -p` session would fire these hooks and double-capture its own turns.
+
+2. **Single config fork**: `queue_read_gates "$DEVFLOW_DIR/config.json"` sets `_QG_MEMORY`
+   and `_QG_LEARNING` in one subprocess (AC-P1 — exactly one fork per hook invocation).
+
+3. **JSONL append via `queue_append_row`**: uses `jq` or `node JSON.stringify` — never string
+   concatenation — to write `{role, content, ts}`. Creates queue file with `umask 077`.
+
+4. **Overflow guard**: after append, if the queue exceeds 200 lines, acquire a
+   `learning_lock_acquire` with 2s timeout and truncate to the newest 100 lines.
+
+**`capture-turn` special behavior**: before queue append, it runs `decisions-usage-scan.cjs`
+if the assistant message contains `ADR-\d+|PF-\d+` (D29 grep-first gate — cheap pattern
+match prevents unnecessary subprocess). The scanner writes citation counts to
+`.devflow/learning/.decisions-usage.json`. This runs regardless of queue feature flags.
+
+**`capture-question` special behavior**: emits one `"qa"` row per answered question. Uses
+ASCII SOH (`\001`) as delimiter for TAB-delimited question+answer rows — the same SOH pattern
+used by `json_extract_cwd_field` for multi-field batched JSON extraction in a single
+subprocess.
+
+### session-start-context Directive
+
+`session-start-context` (SessionStart, always-on) emits the `--- LEARNING MAINTENANCE ---`
+directive when either of these is true:
+- `.devflow/learning/.pending-turns.jsonl` is non-empty
+- `.devflow/learning/.pending-turns.processing` exists AND is stale (>= 900 seconds)
+
+A **fresh** `.processing` (< 900s) suppresses the directive — a live Learning agent already
+owns that batch. Queue emptiness is the sole gate; there is no throttle, lock, or cap on the
+learning side.
+
+Model resolution (bash, same precedence as `learning-tuning-config.ts`):
+
+```bash
+# Project config → global → default
+LEARNING_MODEL=""
+[ -f "$LEARNING_DIR/learning.json" ] && LEARNING_MODEL=$(json_field_file ...)
+[ -z "$LEARNING_MODEL" ] && [ -f "$HOME/.devflow/learning.json" ] && ...
+LEARNING_MODEL="${LEARNING_MODEL:-opus}"
+# Allowlist before interpolating into directive (defense-in-depth against config injection)
+case "$LEARNING_MODEL" in opus|sonnet|haiku) ;; *) LEARNING_MODEL="opus" ;; esac
+```
+
+The allowlist check is the critical security gate — `learning.json` is user-controlled and a
+newline-injected value must never land verbatim inside the SessionStart `additionalContext`.
+The `opus` fallback is intentionally duplicated in bash and TypeScript (applies ADR-003 — the
+bash hook must not shell out to TS just to read a default).
+
+The emitted directive uses `subagent_type="Learning"` and `run_in_background: true`. The main
+model is instructed never to mention the spawn in user-visible text.
+
+### Learning Agent
+
+`shared/agents/learning.md` (`name: Learning`, `model: opus`) is self-contained — it claims
+its own queue, processes it, and cleans up without any external coordination layer.
+
+**Claim protocol**:
+1. If `.pending-turns.processing` is fresh (< 900s) → exit silently (another agent is live)
+2. If `.pending-turns.processing` is stale (>= 900s) → re-claim: `touch` it (heartbeat),
+   then fold in any new queue: `cat .pending-turns.jsonl >> .pending-turns.processing && unlink .pending-turns.jsonl`
+3. Otherwise atomically claim: `mv .pending-turns.jsonl .pending-turns.processing`
+   (the `mv` is atomic; losing the race means another agent claimed — exit silently)
+
+**900s staleness discriminator** is shared verbatim between `session-start-context` (which
+suppresses a fresh `.processing`) and the Learning agent (which re-claims a stale one). Both
+must use the same threshold or the live-vs-crashed decision diverges.
+
+**Processing**:
+- Part 1 (detection): reads claimed turns + `decisions-log.jsonl`; appends/reinforces
+  observations via Bash heredoc (one JSONL row at a time); promotes via `assign-anchor`
+- Part 2 (curation): calls `rotate-observations`; retires stale entries via `retire-anchor`
+- Heartbeat `touch` of `.processing` at the Part 1 → Part 2 boundary prevents a long run
+  from being mistakenly re-claimed
+- **Final act**: `unlink .devflow/learning/.pending-turns.processing` (applies PF-003 —
+  bare `rm` is blocked by the deny-list; `unlink` is the required form)
+
+**Ledger ops** (called from agent's Bash tool):
+```bash
+node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/hooks/json-helper.cjs" assign-anchor "decision" "obs_xxx"
+node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/hooks/json-helper.cjs" assign-anchor "pitfall"  "obs_xxx"
+node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/hooks/json-helper.cjs" retire-anchor "ADR-NNN"  "Superseded"
+node "$HOME/.devflow/scripts/hooks/json-helper.cjs" rotate-observations
+```
+
+Each op self-locks. Never wrap them in an external lock; never call more than one at a time.
+`assign-anchor` atomically writes `decisions.md`, `pitfalls.md`, and `index.md`. These files
+are **never hand-edited** — they are exclusively owned by `assign-anchor`/`retire-anchor`/
+`render-decisions.cjs`.
+
+### decisions_load() and index.md Consumption
+
+The compiled `decisions_load()` partial (from `commands/_partials/_decisions.mds`) instructs
+the main model to read `.devflow/learning/index.md` directly — no subprocess, no script
+(applies ADR-007). If the file is absent or empty, `DECISIONS_CONTEXT` is set to `(none)`.
+Commands that consume decisions use the `devflow:apply-decisions` skill: scan the index →
+Read relevant entry bodies on demand → cite verbatim IDs. The index path is the only thing
+the Learning agent renders at operation time — consuming commands never parse `decisions-ledger.jsonl`.
+
+### Locking
+
+`learning-lock` (sourced by capture hooks and `queue-append`) provides mkdir-based mutual
+exclusion:
+- `learning_lock_acquire <lock_dir> [timeout=3s]`: polls `mkdir`; breaks stale locks older
+  than 30s (using `get_mtime`). Returns 0 on success, 1 on timeout.
+- `learning_lock_release <lock_dir>`: `rmdir` (idempotent).
+
+The lock scope is narrow — only the overflow truncation path acquires it. The JSONL append
+itself is intentionally lock-free (accepted-class race, shared with the memory design).
+
+### HUD Component
+
+`src/cli/hud/components/learning-counts.ts` exports `gatherLearningCounts(cwd)`: reads
+`.devflow/learning/decisions-ledger.jsonl` directly and counts active anchored rows (those
+with `anchor_id` set and `decisions_status` not in `{Deprecated, Superseded, Retired}`). It
+does NOT read `decisions.md`/`pitfalls.md` — using the ledger as source of truth prevents
+HUD coupling to markdown format (D309). Label: `Learning: N decisions, M pitfalls` (dimmed).
+
+### CLI (`devflow learning`)
+
+| Subcommand | Effect |
+|-----------|--------|
+| `--enable` | Sets `learning: true` in `.devflow/config.json` |
+| `--disable` | Sets `learning: false`; drains both queue files (ENOENT-tolerant) |
+| `--status` | Reads config + ledger counts |
+| `--list` | Reads `decisions-log.jsonl` observations |
+| `--configure` | Interactive model/debug wizard |
+| `--clear` | Truncates `decisions-log.jsonl` |
+| `--reset` | Removes `.devflow/learning/` state; prints pinned message: `Reset complete — removed .devflow/learning/ state.` |
+
+### Migrations
+
+Two migrations consolidate older installs:
+- `consolidate-dream-decisions-to-learning-v1` (per-project): moves `.devflow/dream/` + `.devflow/decisions/`
+  → `.devflow/learning/`; writes `.devflow/config.json`; maps `decisions` key → `learning`
+- `rename-global-decisions-config-v1` (global): renames `~/.devflow/decisions.json` →
+  `~/.devflow/learning.json`
+
+## Naming Boundary (Critical Convention)
+
+The Learning agent processes the queue and produces **decisions content**. Content identifiers
+deliberately keep their original "decisions" names even though the outer system is called
+"learning." Do not rename them — every workflow command, CLI, test, and hook references them
+by these names:
+
+- `decisions.md`, `pitfalls.md` — rendered ADR/PF output files
+- `decisions-ledger.jsonl` — anchored ledger (render source of truth)
+- `decisions-log.jsonl`, `decisions-log.archive.jsonl` — raw observation history
+- `index.md` — pre-rendered compact index (consumed via plain Read per ADR-007)
+- `decisions_status` — field in ledger rows
+- `DECISIONS_CONTEXT`, `decisions_load()` — command partial macro identifiers
+- `render-decisions.cjs`, `decisions-format.cjs`, `decisions-usage-scan.cjs` — scripts
+- ADR-NNN / PF-NNN — anchor ID format
+
+The directory is `learning/`, the feature toggle is `learning`, and the agent is `Learning` —
+but everything the agent produces uses "decisions" identifiers. This is intentional. Future
+agents must not "fix" the naming mismatch.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- **Reading feature flags with two separate `json_field_file` calls**: use `queue_read_gates`
+  for a single subprocess (AC-P1). Two forks double the overhead on every hook invocation.
+
+- **Editing `decisions.md`, `pitfalls.md`, or `index.md` directly in the Learning agent**:
+  these files are exclusively owned by `assign-anchor`/`retire-anchor`/`render-decisions.cjs`.
+  Hand-edits create rendering inconsistencies and get silently overwritten.
+
+- **Using `rm` to delete `.pending-turns.processing`**: the recommended deny-list blocks bare
+  `rm` for agent instruction deletions (PF-003). Use `unlink` in the agent's final act.
+
+- **Skipping the model allowlist in `session-start-context`**: `learning.json` is user-controlled;
+  interpolating an unsanitized value into the `additionalContext` block creates injection risk.
+  Always apply the `opus|sonnet|haiku` case check before interpolation.
+
+- **Adding a throttle or lock on the learning directive side**: queue emptiness is the natural
+  gate. The hook checks queue non-empty or stale `.processing` — no throttle, no state file.
+  A live `.processing` already suppresses the directive.
+
+- **Omitting the `DEVFLOW_BG_UPDATER=1` guard**: the background memory worker spawns its own
+  `claude -p` session that fires `UserPromptSubmit`/`Stop` hooks. Without this guard, the
+  worker's turns get double-captured into both queues.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **900s staleness threshold is shared between two places**: `session-start-context` uses it
+  to decide whether to emit the directive; the Learning agent uses it to decide whether to
+  re-claim a stale `.processing`. If one changes, both must change — they will diverge
+  silently otherwise.
+
+- **`decisions` legacy key wins over `learning` in `coerceConfig`**: older configs that have
+  `"decisions": false` will override a `"learning": true` in the same file. This is intentional
+  (migration compatibility) but can cause confusion when reading a config with both keys.
+
+- **HUD reads `decisions-ledger.jsonl`, not the `.md` files**: a row is active only when
+  `anchor_id` is set (non-empty string) AND `decisions_status` is absent or not in the
+  inactive set. An `observing` row with no `anchor_id` contributes 0 to the HUD count.
+
+- **`capture-turn` runs `decisions-usage-scan.cjs` regardless of queue gates**: the grep-first
+  check (`ADR-\d+|PF-\d+` in assistant message) precedes the feature flag check. If learning
+  is disabled, usage scanning still runs for messages that match the pattern.
+
+- **Project-level `learning.json` overrides global** in tuning config — opposite priority from
+  feature config where there is no project-vs-global concept (`.devflow/config.json` is
+  project-only).
+
+- **D37 edge case on fresh clones**: if a project is cloned after global migration markers are
+  set, `readConfig` falls through to `DEFAULT_CONFIG` (all features enabled). Recovery is
+  `rm ~/.devflow/migrations.json` to force a re-sweep, or re-running `devflow init`.
+
+- **json_extract_cwd_field SOH delimiter**: `capture-turn` splits the combined `cwd+field`
+  output using `$'\001'` (bash SOH literal). The jq side emits `""`. If you add a
+  new hook that uses this helper, verify both branches (jq and node fallback) emit the same
+  delimiter — the node fallback in `json-helper.cjs` uses `String.fromCharCode(1)`.

 **LLM-vs-plumbing principle**: The LLM does all detection, semantic matching, materialization, and curation — and reads/edits the data files directly. Deterministic code is plumbing only: hooks, locks, throttles, file I/O, `assign-anchor`/`retire-anchor` ledger numbering, `render-decisions` rendering (decisions.md + pitfalls.md + index.md), and `rotate-observations` archival. No detection or judgment logic lives in shell or TypeScript.

Feature state is stored in `.devflow/dream/config.json` (config-only; dream config is the sole source of truth per ADR-001). `capture-prompt` (UserPromptSubmit, always-on) and `capture-turn` (Stop, always-on) — append the user/assistant turn to `.devflow/memory/.pending-turns.jsonl` via the shared `queue-append` helper (dual-write; see Decisions pipeline for the sibling dream queue), which uses mkdir-based locking for queue overflow truncation across concurrent sessions; each queue is gated independently by dream config; neither ever spawns anything. `memory-worker` (Stop, registered immediately after `capture-turn` so append-before-spawn ordering holds by array position) — after the 120s throttle (keyed by `.working-memory-last-trigger` mtime), touches the trigger then spawns `background-memory-update` as a detached `nohup` worker (`claude -p --model haiku`). `background-memory-update` (detached worker, not a hook itself) — drains `.pending-turns.jsonl`, calls `claude -p` (prompt on stdin, never argv), rewrites `WORKING-MEMORY.md` with `<!-- memory-head: <sha> branch: <name> -->` on line 1, touches `.last-refresh-ok` on success; holds a 300s-stale worker lock; user-only queue truncated without LLM run. `session-start-memory` (SessionStart) → injects previous memory with git-reconciled header (3-state: A in-sync / B drifted / C refresh-failing) + optional pre-compact snapshot as `additionalContext`; stamp `<!-- memory-head: <sha> branch: <name> -->` on line 1 drives drift detection; also recovers a stale orphaned `.pending-turns.processing` itself (self-contained cold path, no external helper).

 **Ambient Mode**: Two-hook orchestrator system (git repos only) controlled by a single toggle (`devflow ambient --enable/--disable/--status` or `devflow init`). **`session-start-orchestrator`** (SessionStart, presence-gated) — injects the orchestrator charter (~535 tokens) as `additionalContext` at every session start (startup, `/clear`, resume, compact). The charter establishes the main session as a pure orchestrator: delegate work to model-tiered sub-agents (haiku=mechanical, sonnet=defined execution, opus=analysis/design/research) or full devflow workflow skills; keep only judgment work mainline. Also carries a plan-handoff fallback bullet (SessionStart provably fires even when UserPromptSubmit does not). **`preamble`** (UserPromptSubmit, presence-gated) — three behaviors: (1) if prompt begins `Implement the following plan:` (Claude Code's native plan-mode handoff prefix), injects a directive to immediately invoke `devflow:implement`; (2) slash commands (`/...`) are silenced; (3) all other prompts get a 2-line orchestrator reminder. Both hooks are silent outside git repos. Any legacy `commands.md` rule or `session-start-classification` hook from prior installs is auto-removed on every `devflow ambient --enable/--disable` or `devflow init`.
 
-**Decisions pipeline** (directive-spawned background Dream agent — scripts capture and trigger only): `capture-prompt`/`capture-turn`/`capture-question` (all always-on) append every user turn, assistant turn, and answered `AskUserQuestion` to `.devflow/dream/.pending-turns.jsonl`, gated by the `decisions` field in dream config (config-only, mirroring memory's ADR-001). `session-start-context` Section 2 (SessionStart, always-on) — when the dream queue is non-empty, or a crashed run left a `.pending-turns.processing` batch older than 900s, it resolves the model (project `decisions.json` → global `~/.devflow/decisions.json` → `opus` default) and emits a `--- DREAM MAINTENANCE ---` directive instructing the main model to **silently** spawn `Agent(subagent_type="Dream", model=<resolved>, run_in_background: true)` **(never narrated in user-visible text)**; a fresh `.processing` suppresses the directive (a live agent owns the batch); queue emptiness is the natural gate, so there is no throttle. The **Dream agent** (`shared/agents/dream.md`, opus, self-contained) claims the queue itself (atomic `mv` → `.processing`; merges a stale leftover and re-claims it; exits silently if the claim is lost; heartbeat `touch` at the detection→curation boundary), reads `decisions-log.jsonl`/`decisions.md`/`pitfalls.md`/`.decisions-usage.json` directly, appends/edits observations in the log directly (one JSONL row at a time, never whole-file rewrites), and calls only the ledger ops via its Bash tool: **decision**/**pitfall** detection via `assign-anchor` (internally self-locks `.decisions.lock`; assigns the next ADR-NNN/PF-NNN anchor number into `decisions-ledger.jsonl`, then deterministically renders `decisions.md`/`pitfalls.md`/`index.md` from the ledger — active entries only) and periodic curation via `retire-anchor` (flips `decisions_status`, never deletes) plus `rotate-observations`.

 **Rules**: Ultra-concise, always-on engineering principle files (~10-15 lines each) installed to `~/.claude/rules/devflow/` as flat `.md` files. Claude Code loads them automatically on every prompt — no hooks required — filling the guidance gap for quick edits that don't trigger a full skill pipeline. Rules flow through the same four-stage pipeline as skills: authored in `shared/rules/`, distributed to `plugins/*/rules/` at build time, installed (or shadowed) at runtime, and activated automatically. Unlike skills (which install universally from all plugins), rules are **plugin-scoped**: only rules belonging to selected plugins are installed. This keeps core rules (`security`, `engineering`, `quality`, `reliability` from `devflow-core-skills`) always present, and language/ecosystem rules (`typescript`, `react`, `go`, etc.) present only when the user has that plugin installed. Shadow overrides: `~/.devflow/rules/{name}.md` overrides the Devflow source. Shadow CLI: `devflow rules shadow <name>` (creates shadow from installed or built source), `devflow rules unshadow <name>` (removes shadow), `devflow rules list` (validity-annotated list). Toggleable via `devflow rules --enable/--disable/--status/--list` or `devflow init --rules/--no-rules`. Stored in manifest `features.rules: boolean` (self-heals to `true` on old manifests). Currently 12 rules: 4 core + 8 language/UI. `paths: []` YAML frontmatter must remain — it signals Claude Code to apply the rule globally.
 
 **One background pipeline** (toggleable):
-- `devflow decisions --enable/--disable` — Decisions pipeline (decision + pitfall detection, materialized by the directive-spawned Dream agent from the captured queue)
+- `devflow learning --enable/--disable` — Learning pipeline (decision + pitfall detection, materialized by the directive-spawned Learning agent from the captured queue)
 
-Knowledge write-back is in-command (not a background pipeline): gated by `devflow knowledge --enable/--disable` (flips `knowledge` in dream config); Knowledge agent writes directly at workflow end.

Recommended applies: ambient ON, memory ON, decisions ON, rules ON, HUD ON, default-ON flags, .claudeignore ON, auto-install safe-delete if trash CLI detected, user-mode security deny list, viewMode preserved from existing settings.json. Advanced path adds a view mode selector (default/verbose/focus) after Claude Code flags. Use `--decisions/--no-decisions` to toggle the decisions agent independently. Use `--rules/--no-rules` to toggle rules independently.

Registry: append an entry to `MIGRATIONS` in `src/cli/utils/migrations.ts`. Scopes: `global` (runs once per machine, no project context) vs `per-project` (sweeps all discovered Claude-enabled projects in parallel). Failures are non-fatal — migrations retry on next init. Currently registered per-project migrations include `purge-legacy-knowledge-v2` (removes 4 hardcoded pre-v2 ADR/PF IDs and orphan `PROJECT-PATTERNS.md`), `purge-legacy-knowledge-v3` (v3: sweeps all remaining pre-v2 seeded entries using the `- **Source**: self-learning:` format discriminator — any ADR/PF section lacking this marker is removed; entries the user edited to include the marker survive), `purge-orphaned-sidecar-judgment-state` (per-project; removes orphaned `.learning-manifest.json`, `.decisions-manifest.json`, `.decisions-notifications.json` — judgment-state files written by the now-removed deterministic render/reconcile layer), `purge-learning-pipeline-v1` (per-project; removes `.devflow/learning/` directory, learning dream markers, `learning` key from dream/sidecar config, `.claude/commands/self-learning/`, and auto-generated skills), `purge-stale-memory-markers-v1` (per-project; removes stale `dream/memory.*` markers left by the old Dream-subagent memory pipeline now that `background-memory-update` handles memory refresh — ENOENT-idempotent, rethrows non-ENOENT errors), `purge-dead-working-memory-sentinel-v1` (per-project; removes the stale `.devflow/memory/.working-memory-disabled` sentinel now that the memory gate is config-only per ADR-001 — ENOENT-tolerant, rethrows non-ENOENT errors), `purge-dream-worker-state-v1` (per-project; removes the `.devflow/decisions/.disabled` sentinel, `dream/.last-dream-ok`, `dream/last-run-summary`, and the `dream/.worker.lock/` directory left by the retired detached dream worker), `purge-dream-marker-pipeline-v1` (per-project; removes stale `decisions.*`/`curation.*` markers and legacy fixed-name stamps — `.decisions-runs-today`, `.curation-last`, `.processor-spawned-at` — left by the retired dream marker pipeline). Global migrations: `purge-learning-global-v1` removes `~/.devflow/learning.json`; `purge-orphaned-dream-commit-hook-v1` removes the orphaned `~/.devflow/scripts/hooks/dream-commit` (the `dream-commit` helper was deleted when `.devflow/` became gitignored-by-default per ADR-021, but the installer copies `scripts/` additively — `copyDirectory` never deletes — so the stale file would otherwise linger; ENOENT-idempotent). **D37 edge case**: a project cloned *after* migrations have run won't be swept (the marker is global, not per-project).

Recovery: `rm ~/.devflow/migrations.json` forces a re-sweep on next `devflow init` — but note that per-project discovery reads `~/.claude/history.jsonl` (`post-install.ts`), so a linked worktree that never hosted a Claude session is NOT swept even after removing the marker; recovery for such worktrees requires opening a Claude session there first (to register it in history), then re-running `devflow init`.

 The script body cannot perform this read — you (the main model) do it before authoring. Then inject the relevant DECISIONS_CONTEXT into agent prompts using the `devflow:apply-decisions` consumption algorithm (scan index → Read relevant entries → cite verbatim IDs in agent prompts). Only agents that need architectural context (Coder, Evaluator, Reviewer, Scrutinizer) need DECISIONS_CONTEXT injected; lightweight agents (Validator, Simplifier) do not.

Agents read full files when relevant to their work. Cap: 50 entries per file. `index.md` has no TL;DR line and is not injected at SessionStart — it is the write-time artifact consumed via plain Read by workflow commands at invocation time (applies ADR-007).

-# Designer Agent
-
-You are a design analysis specialist. You detect gaps and anti-patterns in design documents, specifications, and implementation plans before implementation begins. Your mode and focus determine which preloaded skill applies and which analysis you perform.
-
-## Input
-
-The orchestrator provides:
-- **Mode**: Which analysis type to perform (`gap-analysis` or `design-review`)
-- **Focus**: Which aspect to analyze (gap-analysis only — see Modes table)
-- **Artifacts**: Design documents, specifications, issue bodies, or implementation plans to analyze
-
-**Worktree Support**: If `WORKTREE_PATH` is provided, follow the `devflow:worktree-support` skill for path resolution. If omitted, use cwd.
-
-- **DECISIONS_CONTEXT** (optional): Compact index of active ADR/PF entries for this worktree (pre-rendered to `.devflow/decisions/index.md`). `(none)` when absent. Use `devflow:apply-decisions` to Read full bodies on demand.
-- **FEATURE_KNOWLEDGE** (optional): Pre-computed feature area context for pattern-aware gap analysis. Incorporate feature area patterns and architecture into gap analysis — design additions that fit existing structure. Follow `devflow:apply-feature-knowledge`.
-
-## Apply Decisions
-
-Follow the `devflow:apply-decisions` skill to scan the `DECISIONS_CONTEXT` index, Read full ADR/PF bodies on demand, and cite `applies ADR-NNN` / `avoids PF-NNN` in findings. Skip when `DECISIONS_CONTEXT` is empty or `(none)`.
-
-## Modes
-
-| Mode | Focus (optional) | Skill (preloaded) |
-|------|-------------------|------------------------------|
-| `gap-analysis` | completeness, architecture, security, performance, consistency, dependencies | `devflow:gap-analysis` |
-| `design-review` | (all anti-patterns in one pass) | `devflow:design-review` |
-
-## Responsibilities
-
-1. **Apply mode skill** — Use the detection patterns from your preloaded mode skill (`devflow:gap-analysis` or `devflow:design-review`) for your assigned mode.
-2. **Apply focus-specific analysis** — Use detection patterns from the loaded skill to scan the provided artifacts. For `gap-analysis`, apply only the patterns for your assigned focus. For `design-review`, apply all 6 anti-pattern rules.
-3. **Apply Decisions** — See [Apply Decisions](#apply-decisions) section above. Skip when `DECISIONS_CONTEXT` is empty or `(none)`.
-4. **Assess confidence (0-100%)** — For each finding, assess certainty. Report at 80%+, suggest at 60-79%, drop below 60%.
-5. **Cite evidence** — Every finding must reference specific text from the provided artifacts using direct quotes or line references.
-6. **Write findings to output** — Format findings clearly with severity, confidence, evidence, and resolution.

-## Confidence Scale
-
-| Range | Label | Meaning |
-|-------|-------|---------|
-| 90-100% | Certain | Clearly a gap or anti-pattern — unambiguous evidence in artifact |
-| 80-89% | High | Very likely an issue, minor chance of false positive |
-| 60-79% | Medium | Plausible issue, depends on context not visible in artifact |
-| < 60% | Low | Possible concern — drop, don't report |
-
-## Principles
-
-1. **Evidence-based** — Never flag a gap without citing specific text from the artifact
-2. **Confidence-calibrated** — Report only what you are ≥80% sure about
-3. **Actionable** — Every finding includes a concrete resolution, not just a problem statement
-4. **No speculation** — If you cannot find evidence in the provided artifacts, do not invent it
-5. **Single focus** — In gap-analysis mode, analyze only your assigned focus area; ignore others
-
-## Boundaries
-
-**Handle autonomously:**
-- Applying the preloaded mode skill
-- Scanning artifacts for focus-specific patterns
-- Assessing confidence and categorizing findings
-- Writing structured findings report
-
-**Escalate to orchestrator:**
-- Context documents are missing or unreadable
-- Fundamental ambiguity that cannot be resolved without user input
-- Artifacts reference external systems not present in the provided context

 Load feature knowledge: Attempt to read `.devflow/features/index.md` (the regenerable cache). If absent or empty, glob `.devflow/features/*/KNOWLEDGE.md` and read each file's YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`, `directories`) as the relevance surface. Pick release-relevant KBs by matching their documented area against the release context. For each selected KB, read the full `KNOWLEDGE.md` — trust current code over KB content on any mismatch. Concatenate under slug headers and set `FEATURE_KNOWLEDGE` (or `(none)` if no KBs exist or none are relevant). No `index.json`, no subprocess, no `.cjs` script.
